Hey guys,
I'm using the latest Away3D for Flash 10 and am having some
difficulties getting sprites to work.
I have a sphere in the scene that I can revolve around and I want data
points on various areas of the sphere as billboards (that continuously
face the camera) -- as they will also have dynamic text blocks, I
figured MovieClipSprite was the way to go.
Doing a search on the issue, I found a post with someone using MCS for
similar purposes, so I figured his code would work fine for my
purposes:
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.textColor = 0x00CCFF;
tf.text = NAME;
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
s.addChild(tf);
var mcs:MovieClipSprite = new MovieClipSprite( s );
mc.addChild( mcs );
mc is a reference to my container, objectContainer3D, in which the
main sphere is held.
Testing with this code gives me the following error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type
away3d.sprites:MovieClipSprite to an unrelated type
away3d.core.base:Object3D.
If I try to cast the mcs as Object3D in the addChild(), I get:
Error: ObjectContainer3D.addChild(null)
at away3d.containers::ObjectContainer3D/addChild()
Any suggestions for where I might be going wrong? :)
